Andy Samberg (Space Chimps) and Cristin Milioti (It had to be You) star in a fairly fresh telling of the Groundhog Day-Inifite Time Loop situation with Palm Springs. The film is worth signing up for Hulu to see. Or at least signing up for a free month and then bailing after you see it. Or stealing your parents’ log in to watch it on Hulu on their dime.

Director Peter Berg and star Mark Wahlberg reunite for a third real-life action film (following Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon) with Patriot's Day. Boasting an impressive supporting cast, Berg works to ratchet up the tension and action surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and the manhunt which followed. Wahlberg, a Boston native, ratchets up his accent.
Ben Affleck tries his darndest to channel Dustin Hoffman in his thriller The Accountant. Unfortunately, he ends up closer to the kid from Mercury Rising. Supported by a strong cast and some brutal action sequences, The Accountant ends up a confusing mash of what it is and what it could have been.
